Ubuntu, VirtualBox 2.2 and USB

Hello,

Now, with this new version of ubuntu, i will post alot about it while I’m trying configurations. I don’t want to teach how to install VirtualBox 2.2, because it’s a package .deb and is so easy to install it (Download Sun VirtualBox). In this post I want to remember that we should select the option “Enable IO APIC” in “Settings – General – Advanced”. (My version of WinXp doesn’t work without it). So if you system is not booting, verify this option. Now let’s go to enable USB in your Virtual machine.

You have to install “Guest Additions”, use the menu “Devices – Install Guest Additions”. (Don’t forget to mount it on your cd in virtualbox)

After you install it go to console:

$ grep vbox /etc/group
The result is something similar to this: vboxusers:x:gid:user

(If your user is not there, add it “System – Administration – Users and groups”)

Edit the file “mountkernfs.sh”:
$ sudo pico /etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh

Go to the end of do_start(), and before the } add this line:
domount usbfs “” /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs -onoexec,nosuid,nodev,devgid=GID,devmode=644

(Replace the GID with your GID)

Save the file, reboot the computer and use your usb in your virtualmachine.

The site that make me try this way is http://www.davidgrant.ca/virtualbox_usb_windows_xp_guest_ubuntu_hardy. This website don’t says it works on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty), so i tried and it worked.

I hope this is useful,
Matheus

PS: You have to select the device you want to use in virtual machine in “Device – USB DEVICES”

  1. Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at ivypier continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.

  2. Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at brightvalueoutlet kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.

  3. Honestly the simplicity of the explanation made the topic click for me in a way other writeups had not, and a look at lakelake continued that clarity into related areas, when a writer gets the level of explanation right the reader does the heavy lifting themselves and the post just enables it.

  4. Decided this was the best thing I had read all morning, and a stop at meritquay kept that ranking intact, ranking my reading is something I do mentally throughout the day and the top rank is competitive and not easily won but this site won it without needing to overstate its claims for that.

  5. Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at everforestcollective continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.

  6. modernhomemarket modernhomemarket

    Cuts through the usual marketing fluff that dominates this topic online, and a stop at modernhomemarket kept the same clean approach going, this is the kind of writing that respects the reader’s time rather than wasting it on repetitive setups before finally getting to the point at hand which is what most sites do.

  7. Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at portcanopy earned the same protected attention, when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.

  8. budgetfriendlyhub budgetfriendlyhub

    Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at budgetfriendlyhub extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.

  9. Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at goldenrootboutique provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.

  10. Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at wildpeakcorner kept that pulling effect going across more pages, the kind of subtle pull that good writing exerts on attention is something I find harder and harder to resist when I encounter it on the open web today.

  12. Decent post that improved my afternoon a small amount, and a look at nimbuscabin added a bit more to that, sometimes the small wins online add up over time and a useful site like this one is the kind of place that contributes consistently to those small wins for me lately across many different topics I follow.

  13. Appreciate the thoughtful approach, the writer clearly took time to make this readable for someone who is not already an expert, and a look at puremountaincorner kept that going nicely, easy on the eyes and easy on the brain which is always a winning combination when reading on a busy day.

  14. Liked the way the post handled the final paragraph, no neat bow but no abrupt cutoff either, and a stop at uniquefashionhub continued that thoughtful ending pattern, endings are hard and most blog writers either over engineer them or skip them entirely and this site has clearly figured out a sustainable middle approach.

  15. Just want to record that this site is entering my regular reading list, and a look at flarequill confirmed it deserves the spot, my regular reading list is short and well curated and adding to it requires meeting a fairly high quality bar that this site has clearly cleared without much effort apparently.

  16. Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at moonlitgardenmart kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.

  17. A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at jetdome maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.

  18. Bookmark added in three places to make sure I do not lose the link, and a look at dockjournal got the same redundant treatment, sites I am afraid to lose are the rare keepers and this is clearly one of them based on what I have read so far across this and a couple of related posts.

  19. A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at cadetgrail extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.

  20. Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at globebeat suggested I will share more from here later, content worth sharing into a professional context is content that has earned a higher kind of trust than mere personal interest and this site has it.

  21. Refreshing to find writing that does not try to manipulate the reader into clicking onto the next page through cliffhangers and forced engagement, and a stop at brightfashioncorner continued in the same respectful way, this is what reader first design actually looks like in practice rather than just in marketing copy that sounds nice.

  22. If I were grading sites on this topic this one would receive high marks, and a stop at wildbrookmodern continued earning those high marks, the informal grading I do mentally for content sources is something I take seriously even though it is informal and this site has been receiving consistent high marks across multiple sessions today.

  23. Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at truehorizontrends confirmed the archive worth the time, the rare archive worth a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the rare archive of serious work and this site has clearly produced enough of that work to warrant the deeper exploration.

  24. Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at urbanhillfashion extended that model status, content that becomes a reference for how a kind of writing should be done is content with influence beyond its own readership and this site is reaching that level for me clearly today.

  25. Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through brightdeltafabrics I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

  27. Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at globehaven produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.

  28. Better signal to noise ratio than most places I check on this kind of topic, and a look at jetmanor kept that going, every paragraph here carries something worth reading rather than padding out the page to hit some arbitrary length target that search engines reward but readers ignore as soon as they notice it.

  29. Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at candidmeadow suggested an archive worth exploring, sites with deep archives of consistent quality represent a different kind of resource than sites with viral hits and this one looks like the durable kind based on what I see.
